I was almost certainly sure that it was the shuttle enterprise in the early 80's, I remember trek fans demanding it from NASA. I could be wrong though!
THe American's built the space shuttle to have a reusable rocket that could go out into space and come back to earth.
The space shuttle is able to fire its engines in space because it takes the needed oxygen with it.
It will go to space and come back to earth in 2 years.
first the rocket boosters carry it into space then the external tank pushes the shuttle above earth then when the shuttle is ready the external tank falls off and the shuttle is ready for its mission then after its mission the shuttle lands and blows out a parachute come out from the back to help the shuttle slow down.any parts from the rocket or shuttle can be reused except the external tank.

Enterprise, it did not fly in space though, it was released from a 747 just to see how well it would land Colombia was the first to come out of space and land at Edwards...this was also the first space flight of a space shuttle

None. The Space shuttle has never come close to the Moon, let alone land on it.
It can't. And there's no way to redesign it so that it can, all the shuttle can do is to go up to low Earth orbit and come back down.
I think it was sent in 2000 and it takes about 14 years to get there so it might get there in 2014 and get back here in2028
The shuttles we have now are reusable. They come back, are serviced, stuck on top of some more rockets, and go again.
Because they are not secure enough.
